Outdoor Azalea Indoors?

hostalover360(4)April 12, 2009

My dad bought an already growing Azalea while on a trip to AL, I noticed that this plant is hardy to -10.F a zone 5-9 plant The Azalea is called Hot Shot, I Thought possible this plant could survive outdoors in my WC Wisconsin zone 4, but the flower buds might have a hard time becuase it can get below -15.F here in Winter. What are the chance of this Azalea living as a indoor plant in the winter and outdoors in the spring/summer? What are my best options? should I plant it outside in the ground, or not risk it and keep it in? Note that this is not a Flowerist Azalea, it's a true outdoor Evergreen Azalea. Sorry about all spelling errors.
